Archives for April 2012

I stumbled across the Korean brand, Mizon, by chance on eBay. I was looking for a snail cream (hot in skincare dontcha know) and found a load of interesting products created by this brand (Mizon sounds more like a car manufacturer doesn’t it?!). They make skincare, haircare and make up products and I’ve bought […]

Sooner or later you’ll in the mirror and go ARRGHAGHGHGHHHHHHH! Where did that wrinkle come from!? So far I have spotted some lines of my forehead (why?! I am rarely surprised) and some fine ones under the eye (boo) but zero crows feet (yay!). But with such dry skin at the moment it does […]

It’s nearly summer – although you can’t tell from the RAIN outside. My skin is still as dry as anything but as it warms up, I find more and more use for pretty powders. I purchased 2 powders from Skinfood a while ago but have only just had the chance to open them to give […]

A Midsummer Night’s Dream was the main Shakespeare play we studies at College; know who I had to play? Puck. Only idiots play Puck. But I digress. I may be a bit slow on the uptake, but Paul & Joe’s 2012 Summer Collection is too pretty not to share. Also I have a big occasion […]

A few weeks ago I went to Cheshire Oaks, which is a “Outlet Village” – ie. there’s a load of discount stores in one place. To be honest it was pretty rubbish because places like that always depends on the time of year and what the mainstream stores are getting rid off, , with there […]

A little while ago I did a haul on Adambeauty.com for some Esprique make up! Esprique is a Japanese brand, and used to be Esprique Precious before it was upgraded to a sleeker, black look. The range is in the mid-high price range and is aimed at older women (as in not teenagers) but they’re […]

Mr C’s eyes tend to light up when I throw a new product in his direction although he is strictly hand creams and shampoo. I though this new BB cream for men from Lab Series was pretty cool. This BB Tinted Moisturiser has various benefits:

Gel Nails you can do at home is nothing new – anyone who spends far too much time on eBay knows that you can buy a UV lamp and gel polish for around £50. However – I’ve never been tempted by home gel nails that you need to file off when you’re done – seems […]

Aloha! For the first time in a while I have a little competition for you (and one on Friday!). I have 10 of the new GOSH Smokey Eyes palettes to giveaway (shade of your choice). These new palettes consist of 4 complementary shades and a guide to show you just how to apply it! There […]

It’s funny how you can love a brand then you sort of forget about them? It’s like that with Shu Uemura. I’m not tempted by any of their new releases at all – why is that? Their Rouge Unlimited Supreme Shine lipsticks are though – completely gorgeous but absolutely not faultless. Annoying, eh? Still a […]

Did I tell you I don’t seem to have time to do face masks anymore? Not even sheet masks because it’s hard to move around when you have one on! Nevertheless, I finally found some time to test out the numerous face masks I keep ordering from eBay. Holika Holika’s Medi Medi range consists of […]

You know when Boots starts giving out the £5 off No. 7 vouchers, it’s a killer. The last few times I haven’t paid any attention to it, but because I was in need of a cheap and cheerful boost for Spring, I traded my vouchers in for four new nail polishes! I chose Cheeky Chops 240, […]

Korean brand, Tony Moly have a really big stable of nail polishes that tend to belong to a certain “family” of polishes (e. Trendy, or Neon or the amazing Galaxy Nail Polishes). However, I’ve banned myself from buying nail polishes of late because I have so many but almost inevitably, I have very little time […]

So a little while ago I was watching QVC and got sucked into order a Special Value Kit from Mally. As far as I know, Mally is a cosmetics range that is only sold officially on QVC (in the UK) and is headed by make up artist Mally Roncal (think Kimora Lee with lighter hair). […]
